ITINERARY

DAY 1: Arrive at Venice International Airport.

DAY 2: We cycle this first day in Italy, from Udine to Tarvisio close to the Slovenia border on a spectacular bike route that connects Italy and Austria. The ride for today is 90 km // 1.200 m gain.

DAY 3: From the picturesque town of Tarvisio we start our first challenge of this tour: the climb to Mangart Saddle (22 km, 6% average). The effort will be fully compensated by the glorious views of the Alps from the top. The ride for today is 70 km // 1.600 m gain.

DAY 4: Another epic day is ahead of us. This time we climb up to Vršič Pass and, even though the climb is short (9 km, 9% average), it will test your already tired legs. The day starts in a gentle manner slowly going up through the Soča Valley, where you will enjoy of the most magnificent landscapes in Slovenia. In the evening we arrive in Bled, where we will spend the following two nights. The ride for today is 100 km // 2.000 m gain.

DAY 5: By now, we're all definitely tired and we would deserve a break. But...as we don't really believe in rest days, instead of that, we'll have a shorter day as we explore the surroundings of Bled lake, all the way to Bohinjsko lake, another one of the landmarks in Slovenia. The ride for today is 70 km // 1.300 m gain.

DAY 6: It's back on the road again as we make the final push from Bled to the capital city of Ljubljana via Škofja Loka, one of the oldest and most carefully preserved medieval towns in Slovenia. In the evening we arrive in Ljubljana and enjoy this beautiful green city. The ride for today is 90 km // 1.700 m gain.

DAY 7: Departure to Ljubljana
